Matthew 22:1-7

1 And Jesus, talking to them again in stories, said:

2 The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king, who made a feast when his son was married,

3 And sent out his servants to get in the guests to the feast: and they would not come.

4 Again he sent out other servants, with orders to say to the guests, See, I have made ready my feast: my oxen and my fat beasts have been put to death, and all things are ready: come to the feast.

5 But they gave no attention, and went about their business, one to his farm, another to his trade:

6 And the rest put violent hands on his servants, and did evil to them, and put them to death.

7 But the king was angry; and he sent his armies, and those who had put his servants to death he gave to destruction, burning down their town with fire.
